Chapter 57: Feng Chan's slap in the face (1)
.Chapter 57 Feng Chan's Slap (Part 1)
The East Palace has many good things.
April is approaching, and the barley in the suburbs of Luoyang is beginning to turn yellow, and it is the harvest season. Good news is also heard from the East Palace. First, Di Hui diagnosed it, and was pregnant again, and then it was Di Hao's turn to also hear the good news of being pregnant. After hearing this, Di Renjie couldn't help but have fun at home. Our two nv children are not from good backgrounds, but what can we do?
However, Shangguan Wan'er, Pei Yuhe and Yang Min never had any movement, which made Li Wei laugh and cry. It was not that he was "partial" and although he did different "times", he actually "alternately distributed". It can only be said that it was about Di Hui and Di Hao who grew up to the most mature stage, so he was prone to conception.
Then he went to Ye Ci Mingyue to give birth.
Li Wei also put down his affairs and visited him from time to time. At this time, delivery is a very dangerous task, especially multiple births, large fetus, irregular fetal position, weak NV body constitution, and first childbirth, which are prone to danger. Although Pei Yuhe has not been pregnant and has a faint look, her physique will be very dangerous once she gives birth.
I don’t know how many trips I came over, but I heard the news from the palace outside and said: “Your Majesty, I’m born, I’m born, I’m a prince.”
"How is the health of a talented person?"
"Safe and sound."
"That's good," it doesn't matter whether it's a man or a nv. They are all their own children. The safety of the mother and son is important. When they were entering, a midwife suddenly heard the shouts from the room: "How talented people are you, you can't get up."
Since I was a child, I was healthy and had not felt very weak after being conditioned during this period. When I heard Li Wei coming, I was about to get up and scared the midwife.
"Maintain it well," Li Wei stood there and laughed and shouted.
But Wu Zetian and Li Zhi were both disliked. What was going on in the Eastern Palace? Let’s see what concubines were they who gave birth to the prince, Emperor NV? What were the origins of the Di sisters? If I had known that they could have both, they shouldn’t have taken them into the Eastern Palace at the beginning.
Xu Li is a crazy girl. When she chased a man and went to Shaolin Temple, she became a laughing stock for the world. Bier was a little better, but her parents were equal to ordinary people, and she could allow her to enjoy wealth and glory. This was her loyalty to her son and her best efforts to repay her. But could her son become the future lord of the world? At this time, Wu Zetian also forgot that she almost made Li Lu the crown prince.
What's going on with Ye Ci Mingyue? Not to mention it.
Not only these few people, they always hold a grudge against Yang Min and his wife. But their son is greedy for beauty and never forgets it. Otherwise, this daughter-in-law looked down on the royal family and the crown prince at the beginning, so she had long rejected her. I don’t know what her son thought. But it may not be that beautiful Li Wei also loves beauty and attaches more importance to feelings. However, Yang Min looks down on Li Hong, what does it have to do with him? Since he met Yang Min, his attitude has been changing, so what is there to hate?
Actually, what I think most is Pei Yuhe and Wei Yue are a little younger. It’s okay. The Zheng family also wants her to be pregnant, and her family background is good, and she looks very quiet. Even Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Zetian are not evil. They are very well-behaved and talented NV children.
Therefore, after hearing this, Wu Zetian called Li Wei to Shangyang Palace and said, "I heard that you are in the Eastern Palace, what are the rotations?"
"Yes, if the queen of mother does not have a special favor, there will be less disputes in the harem. The son-in-law is also afraid that the queen of mother will suffer and will be staged again in the East Palace."
"I don't care about it. No matter what rotation you do, you don't have to take turns. From now on, the concubine who stays with you every night must be the queen or the little lady of the Zheng family. By the way, she has been in the palace for many days, and it is time to enthrone. The meaning of this palace is that although she was from the Zheng family, she is a later person. Therefore, she is enthroned as a virtuous concubine. What do you think?"
"But rely on the mother to make the decision."
There is still a concubine and a concubine on it, and it may not be all enthroned, but it will make people think of it. But Wu Zetian changed his voice and turned to the matter of sleeping with him, saying: "Remember, I want to hear the good news from Concubine Zheng Xian and Pei Huanggong this year. Shangguan Wan'er has done a lot of things for you. If she has good news, I will not investigate it. Otherwise, you can't use that rotation."
Li Wei was so amused and cried that he had to say goodbye.
Not only mothers, I'm afraid Pei Xingjian and Liu Rengui and others don't want the East Palace to become like this. After all, there is a genuine brand, and the children born by the concubines can be justified. But Li Wei thought of another thing: childbirth, these nv children will always have to give birth. Even if they have infertility, they cannot be infertile, Zheng Gongchu, Shangguan Wan'er and Pei Yuhe, or the future Wei Yue, all have infertility. But if the child born is unworthy, do you have to choose the heirs of the future empire from their descendants?
I waved my head and said that the future is too far away. Let’s get through this difficulty first.
Get up and say goodbye.
But in the future prince dispute, Ye Ci Mingyue, the child, must be out of hope. As soon as he was born, Li Wei gave a name, Li Cheng, which means assisting the future master of the world.
However, Li Wei was still very happy, and he had another son. Even though he ignored another thing.
Sima Chengzhen came to Luoyang.
Li Zhi and Wu Zetian also had a deep impression of Sima Chengzhen. They were a good disciple of the old god, with good looks, good knowledge, good behavior, and very well-versed in Taoism. They immediately summoned to Shangyang Palace to explain the meaning of the scriptures to them.
Both Buddhist and Taoist sects believed in both Buddhism and Taoism, and they believed in all schools. Even the Zoroastrianism and Nestorians occasionally believed in them. Even a few Catholic missionaries called them to the palace and talked for a long time. Li Wei was very ashamed of their fraternity.
This is what comes to mind, and even after several years, Li Wei felt very regretful about it.
...
Li Zhi had another reason for Fengshan, one was a great victory, two was that he became greedy for fame in his later years, and three was that many envoys came to the West, one by one, one by one, and they were nostalgic for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and had not left yet, but there was no banquet in the world. Some people chose to stay in Chang'an or Luoyang, but most of them had to go back. Once Fengshan, the envoys of various countries would exceed the vastness of the countries and regions involved in the past dynasties.
At the end of April, he found another reason for Fengshan.
In that year, the world was ripe. After the Eastern Turkic storm, the price of grain continued to rise again and again, and once rose to more than twenty cents per bull. Many landlords hoarded the Turkic storm. However, they did not expect that the Tang army quickly wiped out the Turkic storm. In addition, the food prices fell very badly. In addition, it was reported that the court would overhaul water conservancy and cultivate more farmland. Qinghai's harvest was bumper, not only did the military and civilians use grain to solve it, but they even used it to feed horses. By the end of April, the price of grain dropped to every bullish storm. It was still falling.
The completion date of Danshui Canal was a little late, but it was also completed. After five or six years of management, the entire Danshui River section was basically over. The remaining project volume is not small, but it is another great news to pass through Guanzhong. This is the internal environment.
And there are conditions for Fengshan.
The establishment of the navy caused some small controversy. The people did not know that the army was established by the court who really escorted the seamen. Some people supported it not only escorts, but also "occupied" many areas one by one. These futures were all the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If you want to rule, you must have a strong maritime army. This is the interpretation of the people, and now it is a rainy day. Those who oppose it believe that there are still decades of situations, and now it is a financial investment. This is clearly the court's greed for the profits of merchants, impressed by profits, and it is inappropriate.
There are many people who know the truth, but they dare not tell it.
But this made the beasts by the river return again, and they were overjoyed.
It was just Japan, but it would be too big to eat Silla. If the two countries joined forces, even if the Tang Dynasty dispatched a small number of troops, Japan would win a great victory. With joy, they came to Luoyang again. Liang Jinzhu was in Yangzhou, but he did not dare to make a decision and had to report it. Therefore, the negotiations continued to be placed in Luoyang, but the court did not come forward. The people of Dahai were puzzled, and then they ridiculed and said some unpleasant words. The beasts by the river did not dare to bring these words back.
Not only did he not dare to say it, he stayed in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, but also knew some habits of the Tang Dynasty. This was forced to do this, but he understood it very well in his heart.
But this time his return made the Tang Dynasty's monarch and ministers overjoyed. After listening to the meeting of the beasts by the river, although the Dahairen was a backward country, he could be considered a king with great potential. He asked very carefully, including the troops promised by Li Wei. Why did the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ascend the throne and said that he would redeem the troops and then tactfully purchase the troops through money? After asking, he finally understood. It turned out that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty regarded his people as noble nations and wanted to use the Sillas who were in the lower scattered instead of the original troops of the Tang Dynasty. The Japanese believed the evil most about the noble and humble nations. He suddenly "understanded" them, but this made him very happy. Japan also needed slaves, but it was not as urgent as the Tang Dynasty.
There are many ordinary people in Silla who have captured hundreds of thousands or one million. Can they offset all military expenditures and get a large number of weapons and excellent ships in vain? Not only that, he also cast money himself, imitating the Tang Dynasty, copper coins as a monetary system, and gold and silver were excluded. When the riverside beast left, he heard the edict issued by Li Wei, but did not know the implementation, and there were many problems. These gold and silver in his own country were only gold and silver, a decoration. After the riverside beast left, he sent people to look for silver mines all over the mountains, which really made him find a large silver mine.
Li Wei's other promises also made him quite moved. Whoever occupied the area belonged to him, and he did not interfere with the spoils, so he added another 500,000 taels of silver and 50,000 taels of gold. This also almost plundered all the gold and silver reserves of Japan, and almost plundered the gilded from the big Buddha statue and melted it again.
Gold is not a quasi-currency, but after this period of implementation, it gradually developed into the upstream of the Tang Dynasty. Many large amounts of quasi-currency have already shown a trend of silver coins to replace them. This is a huge sum of money, and people in the sea think they have taken a lot of advantage, but the Tang Dynasty made a big profit. Everyone is happy. With this money, the treasury finally became full.
It’s not that you don’t talk about profit, but you see how much profit is.
Just like the five families and seven surnames, NV children are noble, but once they put 100,000 yuan in their family, will NV children marry? If they don’t marry, they will put 100,000 yuan in them, and will they marry? There are definitely not many families who can refuse this huge sum of money. The same is true for the imperial court. The silver is developing towards quasi-money, but it has not been much, and it will not be able to circulate. Getting a large amount of money is like getting a large sum of money.
The profit is too heavy. As long as the silver price is maintained, it is possible that this money can bring nearly 3.5 million yuan in profits to the Tang Dynasty. Faced with this profit, even the direct ministers Zhu Jingze, Wei Xuantong and others chose to remain silent one by one.
Sell it.
I guess even if the hot yào formula is sold now, not many people will object.
This time the treasury has also been filled. You have no reason to let me stop Fengshan.
At this time, Wei Yuanzhong summoned him back and appointed him as the junior supervisor of the Secretariat. He was from the fourth rank and was considered a senior official. However, the power of the Secretariat was very small, so he could not count the number of the fourth rank. Di Renjie was an exception. Wei Yuanzhong had political achievements and returned to Beijing to only be appointed as the Secretariat's junior supervisor, which was a normal transfer.
But it is already very good to be able to return to Beijing with the extra reward. That's it. Wu Zetian often regrets it, and his son seems to have added another cadre by his side.
Wei Yuanzhong didn't know what Wu Zetian had. He was in Jiangnan for a long time and was also paying attention to the current situation. However, some situations were not very clear. After returning to the capital, he lived at Di Renjie's house. He stayed overnight. After talking for half a night, he settled about what happened before and after.
Regarding the Japanese, Wei Yuanzhong said: "I was in Jiangnan and saw that some areas in Jiangnan were very rich, especially in the past two years of navigation, which brought huge profits to some wealthy families. Some families were richer and spent a thousand dollars on a seat. Richness is rich, and Yangzhou is wet and blocked, so many people are under agriculture and commerce, which makes me worry. The country needs money, but food is the foundation of national stability."
"Young Master Wei, you have been thinking too much. Your Majesty also considers this festival. He attaches importance to food more than anyone else, so he asked Mr. Liu and Mr. Li to inspect the south of the south of the Yangtze River. It was to encircle the shallow swamps, repair polder fields, and expand new arable land. However, the cost was very large, so I had to wait until the Danshui Canal was fully completed and look at the finances of the court and gradually implement them. Once these polder fields appeared, it would increase a lot of food for the country. It is impossible for everyone to abandon agriculture and do business. In this regard, I have also talked with Your Majesty. Your Majesty's words are quite reasonable. Merchants should not encourage and promote them too much, but they seem to be overcorrected and have not been controlled well in the past dynasties."
"Dishilang, I feel relieved if I can say this. I have always been worried that His Majesty will always be nervous when he sees the treasury, so he also learns from the merchants and starts to pursue profits and forgets the fundamentals of the country."
"No, Your Majesty is carrying out a series of reforms, not only business, but also military, taxation, currency, education, agriculture, imperial examinations, and military system. He has a great heart, but because of the political situation of the court, he dare not implement it easily. But some take the opportunity to implement it. You don't know that the case of Wu Chengsi in charge occurred last year. At that time, Your Majesty wanted to use this matter as a price and transfer you back to the capital. However, Your Majesty gave up voluntarily for the sake of the country. Therefore, the implementation of three practical things: Pucha Water Conservancy, Wu Chengxiu system and popular education in all prefectures and counties across the country."
"This is what Your Majesty should do."
"What we should do is to be in the future, and now we are only a little bit. But even in the future, Your Majesty... cannot act recklessly. You must also weigh the pros and cons of things and make silent changes like today. Only then will the country not have big movements, and develop towards good development, and the country's destiny will last longer."
"yes."
"This time, it is not only for money, but also for the future..." Di Renjie said this again, and then said: "And Your Majesty is also worried that the Turks will change. With money, you can reserve more food in the north. Not only the north, but the Western Turks have not really stabilized. The Tubo Lu brothers may also instigate. There must be some reserves in the treasury in order to prevent it."
"But one thing I'm worried about is that the country has not become very good. The Supreme Emperor still wants to be Fengshan. The more reserves in the treasury, he is not as far away as in previous years. I'm afraid the more money he has finally obtained. The Supreme Emperor uses a lot of money to squander."
"You're very reasonable. We'll meet His Majesty tomorrow."
When he saw Li Wei, he said a lot of noise, and Wei Yuanzhong expressed his worries.
Li Wei's face immediately became cautious.
It’s not impossible, but very likely. Even with money, maybe parents may use it to win people’s hearts and consolidate their rights. The income of millions of dollars on the head of a family will be an astronomical figure, but if you put it in a big country, you can use it as long as you don’t have any ideas. Moreover, the mother’s words prevent you from refuting. My father has not had much time, and he has indeed done many useful things to the country.
Only a few years left, it was just a little money, and it was not an exaggeration to learn from Yang Guang's dragon boat going down the south of the Yangtze River. How could I stop it?
"Let me think about it."
Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea."
"Di Qing,."
"The Supreme Emperor wants to be Fengshan, but the ministers are not convinced by this kind of Fengshan. But Your Majesty can give advice and ask the Supreme Emperor to take out some of the funds and redeem a large number of troops. People from the five surnames and seven families will be allowed to ban the sea soon. In order to divert the pace of annexation of several major families, Your Majesty promised to relax the original policy of shipping. Then you will need more troops. It is better to take advantage of the present to redeem some of the troops and let them fill Qinghai. It is also a virtue of great success, and it also consolidates the fruits of victory that Your Majesty finally achieved in Qinghai."
"This idea is quite good." Li Wei praised.
Qinghai has allocated twice, and with some Han people, there are already many Han people. This is not the way Emperor Yang of Sui used criminals to consolidate the border, but it is easy to become Tuyu. However, the proportion is still not as good as Dangxiang People's Congress. Although Dangxiang people now have a very good attitude towards the Tang Dynasty. They are afraid of Tubo's revenge, so they have to do so. But prevent the future. Besides, there is food and land, and there is huge room for people to migrate.
Moreover, the environment in Qinghai is very good now. For example, Dafeichuan is quite a bit like a vast sky and vast wilderness. The wind blows the grass and shows the smell of cattle and sheep. What about later generations? Only the Gobi Desert is left, and it is rare to see the short weeds. This is also caused by the grazing transition to destroy the environment.
Fake explanation.
The current environment in the north of Guanzhong is not bad, but later it became a loess high slope. Excessive farming also damages the environment. However, some of his strategies play a protective role in the environment. First, it is to propose greening, which most people do not take seriously, but it is reasonable that some officials have done this. Cultivating a trend can ensure that some soil and water will not be lost. Second, the early mining of coal resources.
It is also destroying the environment, but it is better than using charcoal. The song "Character Selling Man" describes the old man who sells charcoal. However, the process of making charcoal was not written. It was not dug out from the ground, but was cut down from branches and baked in a kiln. Every winter comes, thousands of households use this charcoal to keep warm.
Third, cotton was popular. Without cotton, there would be no cotton coats. Only wearing hemp clothes, how many ordinary people were willing to wear fur coats? This was unimaginable in later generations. Some people even doubted that wouldn’t it be frozen to death? So Li Shimin led his army back one step late, and the soldiers really froze to death. Therefore, during the great cold of the Song Dynasty, soldiers guarded the city of Bianliang and were frozen to death. This made the people stay at home to set fire. Wood sticks, firewood, charcoal burned, and a large number of trees were cut down like this.
Li Wei has considered this, but he has not considered it seriously.
Wisdom may not be the best in this era, but few people can compare with their knowledge. But no matter how the reform, including those that have been implemented, must wait until they have the power to truly implement it and truly become a concept. Otherwise, if it is implemented, a small change will be wasted.
He also called Di Hui and Di to come and talk to Di Renjie for a few words. Their parents and relatives were not alive, and they were also considered family members.
Then Li Wei went to Shangyang Palace.
He spoke, "Father, if you want to be a concubine, you will do the same kind of good deeds in the end according to your sons' opinions."
As long as you don’t object to Fengshan, Li Zhidao: “What kind of good deeds?”
"I recently received a considerable amount of money from Japan, and there was a tax increase in various places, and another money... The treasury is not worried about the cost for the time being. However, Qinghai still lacks labor, and many military farms have been cultivated, and no one has cultivated them. Therefore, my son begs the father to allocate one million and a half million yuan to redeem 1.5 million yuan, or tens of thousands of troops, give them a way out, and strictly guard the western border defense for the country. With this kind of good deed, Fengshan will become more meaningful."
The price of the division has gradually increased in recent years. In the past, if one was allocated 1.5 million yuan, the male NV and young could redeem at least tens of thousands of people together, but now it is not possible. But this is indeed a good deed. Li Shimin did a lot. Before his early years, the East and West Turks did not conquer. He was kind in various ways, some escaped, some rewarded the Sui Dynasty, some plundered the past, and nearly one million people in the two divisions. So he took out a lot of money to redeem the Central Plains for them. He even used the reason not to return the Chinese people to war against the Kucha people and Xue Yantuo. When Li Zhi was in the hands of him, he almost never did it.
The situation is a little different, but the quality is the same.
Li Zhichen yin for a moment and replied, "Hong'er, this move is good, I follow you."
Regardless of whether this Zen can be sealed or not, another thing has been implemented.
Chapter completed!
